Witchaven villager

Script errorWitchaven villagers used to be human until the Sea slugs came and invaded. They now have yellowish skin, and speak strange things. They also have reddish eyes. Apparently, they have a very low tolerance level on heat, like the fishermen on the Fishing Platform and will collapse upon contact with it. You have to avoid the villagers in Kennith's Concerns in the underground mine below Witchaven and also knock the last two batches of villagers out by putting Rubium in the steam vents. After the quest is over they will leave the mines. They are also encountered outside and in the Slug Citadel, and can bind the player and summon Risen knights if not knocked out. After Salt in the Wound, they become normal again.

Trivia

They make references to the stars being almost aligned, which is what the Mahjarrat are waiting for.

Oddly, examining a villager from Kennith's Concerns can reveal them to be female despite having a male appearance. In addition, the female villagers you lure into the church during the quest turn into males after they get locked in.

One of the villagers sings "The Shoals of Herring", a ballad based on the life of Sam Larner, a fisherman and folk singer from Winterton-on-Sea, Norfolk, England.
